Hi all;

I have RedHat 6.2, a nic, a fax/modem, networked to a win95 box on and
off. Trying to set the rh box as a dialin server (using mgetty) and
trying to dialin with a mac performa 580.

The /var/log/ppp shows that the mac connects and logs in, but then it
says it can not determine the local ip.

rh box set up

hosts
	127.0.0.1 localhost
	192.168.1.1 sgtech.localdomain sgtech
	192.168.1.2 lgtech # the local lan client win95
	192.168.1.25 rgtech # the remote computer

options.srv

	oauth
	lock
	modem
	crtscts
	proxyarp
	asyncmap 0
	192.168.1.1:192.168.1.25
	login

pap-secrets
	user1 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25
	user2 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25


The macs hosts file is

	127.0.0.1 localhost
	192.168.1.1 sgtech
	192.168.1.25 rgtech # the remote computer
